This is without a doubt the most disgusting hotel... - Review of Red Carpet Inn & Suites

This is without a doubt the most disgusting hotel I have EVER been in. I would suggest you pitch a tent in an alley somewhere, it's bound to be cleaner! It is dark, dank & dirty. Not a single amenity nor any type of security (unless the armed guards at the correctional facility across the alley count).

They should change the name of this hotel to the Step Up Inn.....it's one step up from sleeping in your car!! The framed messages in the hotel mention how famous people such as B.B. King and Bob Dole have stayed there.......what they DON'T tell you is that the rooms haven't been cleaned or updated since!!!

In our room (712, if anyone cares) the wallpaper was peeling and bubbling, the bedspread had a large stain, the draperies had holes, the A/C barely worked (even AFTER maintenence "fixed" it), the window opened (THANK GOD, since it was HOT in there) but had no screen, the shower curtain was stained, one lamp was missing a bulb, one light in the bath didn't work, the toilet had a rust ring at water level AND ran intermittently all night because of a leak, there were holes in the wall where a blowdryer and some other mystery appliance had been ripped off the bathroom wall and not replaced, the toilet paper was just sitting there without a roller, the carpet had fuzz, dust and lint all over it, the soft chair was MISSING ONE LEG, the sofa cushions were dirty, there was only ONE small trash can in the whole room, and no ice bucket. Ours was a king room, they gave us two towels, ONE washcloth, and ONE hand towel....no bath mat, and the washcloth was so grey it looked like someone had scrubbed the floor with it (WHAT floor, I'm not sure, because it sure wasn't one in THAT room!).

As for the hotel in general....I should have known it was going to be bad when they had lost our reservation in the first place. This on a weekend when EVERYTHING else in town was booked!! Of course, now I know why they still had openings!! But, the vending machines on lobby level had a decent variety, too bad the only ice machines were on lobby level and 3rd floor. The parking lot had trash all over the place, and even at 11pm a back entrance door was propped open and anyone could have come in unobserved by the front desk staff (although the sign on the door SAID it would be locked at 9pm). My husband stayed at the room while I did some errands, when I tried to call him the woman at the front desk couldnt even manage to transfer the call correctly....instead of getting to talk to me, he heard someone saying, "It's not MY fault, I'm NOT the manager"!!

When I spoke to the gentleman at the desk when we checked out, he was friendly but unconcerned. He just said that the owner wouldn't spend any money, so they couldn't help the way things were. Not to worry, they won't get MY money again!

Travelers are raving about these Topeka hotels

Recommended as the 'host hotel' for a sporting event held over the weekend. Service was slow, the rooms were bleak and worn down. Linens were stained and beds broken down. No amenities (not even an ice bucket). Requested clean sheets and had to strip and make the bed when they arrived (the linen delivery person "wasn't a maid"). We ended up buying towels and room deoderizer at Wal-Mart to make the two-night stay possible.

There are a couple of nice restaurants and a bakery within walking distance; however, the hotel is located adjacent to a county correctional facility and is not in the best part of town.
